Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Precious Tzu is a petite Shih Tzu (about 12 lbs) with silver and white hair and sable coloration on her ears. She came into rescue as an owner surrender due to no fault of her own. Precious is well named. She has sweet quiet temperament, happiest when she is cuddled in her person's lap or the back of the chair/couch. She sleeps near her person's head in the bed, preferably on her own pillow!
Precious is pad trained and house trained. She enjoys walks on leash. Oh, and Precious likes her stuffed toys. While Precious is ok with other dogs, she much prefers her person and would adore being the only or one of two pets. Older children with excellent pet manners would be best for Precious.
If you love the Shih Tzu breed, want a sweet dog to spoil and pamper and want a pet who loves to be in your lap or near you, Precious Tzu is the girl for you.
The ideal home for this Real Good Dog will have a secure fenced yard. A solid history of excellent vet care for current or previous pets is required. Preference will be given to applicants who have specific breed experience.
Please visit www.realgoodrescue.com to submit an electronic application if you are interested in adopting this or any other Real Good Dog.
We adopt dogs from Memphis Animal Shelter when we can. The shelter has an 83% euthanasia rate, one of the highest in the country. Unfortunately, any dog coming from Memphis Animal Shelter, and most other shelters for that matter, will have been in contact with contagious illness. Even though the dogs have been in foster care and appear to be in good health, they may become stressed when changing environments and exhibit signs and symptoms of illness. If you have other pets, they need to be up to date on vaccines before bringing a shelter dog into your home. We will take the adopted animal back, but we are not responsible for your other animal's vet care. We always disclose where the dogs have come from. Please ask for any information about the dogs and exercise due caution if you have immunocompromised animals.
